<p>The &#34;Woot isn&#39;t what it once was&#34; debate has been beaten to death....but it&#39;s soo true. The &#34;coolness&#34; or &#34;nerdy-ness&#34; was the first to go. Then the actual &#34;good deals&#34; were next. And now there&#39;s just been a ton of garbage quality items at everyday prices. I gave up on regular Woot awhile ago and just came for the, now, Side Deals section. But that&#39;s now completely overrun by companies spamming their garbage. And then these past couple months, I&#39;ve barely even logged on....and I&#39;m still #8 on the leaderboard funny enough. There&#39;s just nothing for me here anymore. So bye bye Woot. I post this, then delete your bookmark from my bookmark bar. You sold out and became one of the herd.</p>Mon, 11 Aug 2014 14:46:45 Z2014-08-11T14:46:45Zurn:uuid:03251203-03e6-47f8-83af-9fb84dbdccf4http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/03251203-03e6-47f8-83af-9fb84dbdccf4/help-me-pick-out-a-10-android-tabletcomputerstabletsHelp me pick out a 10" Android tablet?<p>I&#39;m looking to replace my ~10 year old laptop. I really only used it when I travel for entertainment on the plane and internet using in the airport and hotel room. No games more demanding than Angry Birds. I like the Google Nexus 10, but it&#39;s a bit more than I was looking to spend and it doesn&#39;t have external storage ability. Yes, the cloud can be used for storage, but not when I&#39;m up in the clouds too. The whole Samsung Galaxy line has been getting rave reviews for years (tablets, phones, etc). I was also looking at a couple of offerings from Asus and Acer, but read mixed reviews.

I used an old Dell mouse like this for years and actually really liked it, despite it being cheap.<br />
<img src="http://imagecache.w00t.com?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww1.pcmag.com%2fmedia%2fimages%2f118082-dell-dimension-e310-mouse.jpg" /><br />
When the left click started to die on it, I just bought what I thought was a quality mouse, the Logitech M500. <br />
<img src="http://imagecache.w00t.com?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.tim.id.au%2fblog%2fwp-content%2fuploads%2f2010%2f10%2flogitechm500.jpg" /><br />
While I do think it is quality, the shape of it has bugged me ever since (a year). Though it&#39;s suppose to conform to your hand, it doesn&#39;t. Maybe I just hold my mouse differently than most? I don&#39;t use my entire hand, but rather just my fingertips. Just my fingertips press the buttons.</p>
<p>At any rate, I&#39;d like to go back to the mice with the junk in the trunk. A big rounded rear end. Teardrop shape if you will. I held the Razor Naga at Best Buy and really liked the shape, but it&#39;s built for MMO gamers and has 600 buttons on it. No thank you. Two with a scroll wheel is plenty.

One in the traditional location and one on the middle of the display. This allows the screen to be tilted completely flat, but elevated up from the keyboard....which is suppose to give the notebook the overall look of the Starship Enterprise. They&#39;re auctioning ONE of them off on eBay along with some cast memorabilia. The proceeds go to &#34;The Mission Continues&#34; and &#34;Save the Children.&#34; Current bid on the notebook, as of this post, is $7,600.</p>

<p>Pre-Orders start today. It&#39;s essentially a full Android device, with exception of the cellular service. It&#39;s built around portable gaming, but you can still do all the other Android stuff too. So messaging your friends, etc. Built-in wireless-N lets you stream live to a TV, so you can play/watch on a larger screen. Suppose to be over 24 hours of playtime on one charge.</p>
<p>My personal opinion? Ehh, it doesn&#39;t pack enough new stuff to be a hot item. We already have portable Android devices of course. We already have extremely nice portable gaming devices (that you can even go from home console to portable (PS Vita)). And it&#39;s pretty pricey.

One suspect was killed, the other is still on the run. The very latest news of my post says they have the remaining suspect surrounded outside a home in Watertown, Mass.</p>
<p>Here&#39;s a NBC article regarding the first part:<br />

I finally got a chance to try a couple today, and I must say, I&#39;m a little underwhelmed. Doesn&#39;t have the flavor punch that I expected I guess. Or maybe it&#39;s just that the Nacho Cheese flavor lends itself to the taco so much better? I don&#39;t know, but I wasn&#39;t impressed. </p>
<p>But hey, maybe I&#39;m in the minority. Have you tried one yet?

Google Chrome's spellchecker is updated. Who's as relieved as me?<p>Google Chrome is awesome. Sure. But something as basic as the built-in spell checker has been absolute garbage since day one. The ironic thing is that misspelled words input into the actual Google search engine ALWAYS come back with the correction. I even made a topic about it awhile ago:<br />
<a href="http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/3b04887e-e9ad-4500-b06b-3484ad618567/why-does-the-spellchecker-on-chrome-suck-so-much-but-yet-googles-is-so-awesome#8">http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/3b04887e-e9ad-4500-b06b-3484ad618567/why-does-the-spellchecker-on-chrome-suck-so-much-but-yet-googles-is-so-awesome#8</a></p>
<p>Well after years of frustration, Google has finally implemented a fix. You can now right-click your misspelled word and, underneath &#34;Add to dictionary&#34; is now &#34;Ask Google for suggestions&#34;. But rather than opening up a google search for the word, it actually asks you if you want to enable the feature. If you select yes, it just automatically searches Google in the background and gives you real Google search suggestions directly from your right-click. Been using it all day and it&#39;s working flawlessly. </p>

<p>Yep. Word is they&#39;re doing it to &#34;stay inline with their competitors&#34;, but last I checked nobody has a 15 day return policy. True, the online price matching is nice. But I think most people expect that. I bet the change in return policy is going to create some big waves for them. We&#39;ll see.

Two days after the items &#34;sell out&#34; or disappear, they are suddenly up and available again. As you can likely tell from my comments, I&#39;m not thrilled with it. It&#39;s too much. I used to check out Woot&#39;s deals, but now it has lost all its draw for me. I just come for the community section. I don&#39;t even look at the regular Woot deals anymore... This website has turned into little more than a bulletin board for me.</p>

So each player wears their own pair of 3D glasses and is only able to see their character and their portion of the game on the screen.... in full screen. And their opponent is able to see a completely different picture full screen of their own character. So no more looking at your opponent screen to see where they&#39;re hiding / when they&#39;re reloading / what they&#39;re doing AND you both get a huge full screen picture versus split-screen.</p>

Here's the place!<p>I would like to thank GT0163c for her killer (and hefty!) BOC. An item by item inventory of everything included would bring this message board to its knees. lol Every item brought me laughter/a smile to my face and made me happy that I participated in this exchange. Though I don&#39;t have kids, I have nieces and nephews! They loved the lego/lego-like pieces. Brought them several hours on enjoyment right out of the box.lol I think the funniest part was seeing the same free samples that I saw on deals.woot and got myself (olives, downey, etc). They just kinda bring together the idea that we&#39;re all on the same message board and do similar things. Also, thanks for the included note. That&#39;s something I really should have done for my BOC but slipped my mind.</p>
<p>Also big ups to djohnson64055 for heading this whole thing up. I&#39;m looking forward to doing it again in the future.</p>Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:01:47 Z2012-09-24T14:01:47Zurn:uuid:3b04887e-e9ad-4500-b06b-3484ad618567http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/3b04887e-e9ad-4500-b06b-3484ad618567/why-does-the-spellchecker-on-chrome-suck-so-much-but-yet-googles-is-so-awesomechatbrowsersWhy does the spellchecker on Chrome suck so much, but yet Google's is so awesome?<p>Seriously! The spellchecker built into Chrome is HORRIBLE. I can have two letter switched around and it can&#39;t figure out what word I meant to type. Meanwhile the Google search engine is able to read my mind no matter what jumble of letters I&#39;ve Hulk-smashed into the box.</p>
<p>I realize Google uses user-input data to help predict what you&#39;ll search for. But speaking strictly of misspellings and typos, it&#39;s far and above Chrome. It&#39;s frustrating when I can open a Google search window, paste the exact misspelling I have on another tab, and Google search is able to correct the spelling without a problem.</p>Mon, 27 Aug 2012 12:06:10 Z2012-08-27T12:06:10Zurn:uuid:e8d90702-b072-46ac-ba6c-0eb80af6e511http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/e8d90702-b072-46ac-ba6c-0eb80af6e511/who-serves-the-best-sandwhich-in-americachatfoodWho serves the Best Sandwhich in America?<p>Following the conclusion of Adam Richman&#39;s Best Sandwich in America last night, he crowned...</p>

<p>Tommy DiNic&#39;s Roast Pork Sandwich from Philadelphia, PA the king of sandwiches. Tons of outstanding sandwiches in the running, but there could be only one winner.</p>
<p>I&#39;ve done my own travel channel/food network tour of the southeast. And now I&#39;m thinking of doing my own &#34;Best Sandwich in America&#34; tour. So what&#39;s your personal vote? From any sandwich you know of across America. You&#39;re only allowed ONE nomination! So no &#34;sandwich1 or sandwich2&#34;.</p>Thu, 16 Aug 2012 15:32:57 Z2012-08-16T15:32:57Zurn:uuid:093a46ea-04fd-4eae-8323-faa078e1502bhttp://deals.woot.com/questions/details/093a46ea-04fd-4eae-8323-faa078e1502b/no-automatic-upvotes-for-our-own-deals-anymoremetavotingNo automatic upvotes for our own deals anymore?<p>I just posted this deal, but instantly had a vote of 0. The up arrow was already highlighted, so I couldn&#39;t even vote for my own deal. I must have started with -1 ??? Look at the views. Look at the &#34;voted for&#34; on the right. Nothing. Nobody has voted and it won&#39;t let me even vote for my own deal.</p>
<p>WTF?</p>

It, essentially, turns every single setting on your phone into an if/then statement. So if &#34;this&#34; certain condition exists, then do &#34;this&#34;. If a situation arises where &#34;this&#34;, &#34;this&#34; and &#34;this&#34; are happening at the same time, do &#34;this&#34; and &#34;this&#34;. </p>
<p>So, if GPS detects that I&#39;m at a certain location I&#39;ve labeled as work, automatically change my wallpaper to something professional and turn the ringer to vibrate. When I leave work, turn the ringer on full, put the nudey girl wallpaper back up and turn on bluetooth. Or how about, if GPS detects that I&#39;m at work AND it&#39;s after 6pm AND my wife calls, automatically decline the call and send a text message to her saying &#34;Sorry honey. I&#39;m still at work and will be home shortly.&#34;</p>

I&#39;ve seen them before and I&#39;ve heard all the &#34;claimed advantages&#34; and marketing surround the toe shoes. But I&#39;m curious to hear some un-edited opinions on them. So? Does anyone own a pair? How do they hold up as running shoes? How long do they last? Anything else?</p>Sat, 30 Jun 2012 17:37:30 Z2012-06-30T17:37:30Zurn:uuid:9c67f811-faa1-4b53-8ab4-a9086590dbb2http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/9c67f811-faa1-4b53-8ab4-a9086590dbb2/should-silverware-sets-be-offered-without-two-sizes-of-fork-and-spoonhomekitchenflatwareShould silverware sets be offered without two sizes of fork and spoon?<p>Fine dining or serving Christmas dinner to guests is one thing. But casserole in front of the TV on Tuesday night is another. Let&#39;s face it. The majority of us just want a fork to shovel the food in our mouths. We don&#39;t need separate and different sized forks for our salad than our main dish. Meanwhile, having two different sizes causes them to lay funny in the silverware drawer, and I often find myself eating cereal with a huge spoon. </p>
<p>But I don&#39;t want to buy cheap silverware piece by piece. I want a quality 18/10 set with some day-in day-out utility. Is that too much to ask?</p>Wed, 20 Jun 2012 13:01:53 Z2012-06-20T13:01:53Zurn:uuid:e7d871ef-b165-4dd4-ab32-34d37af4c3e3http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/e7d871ef-b165-4dd4-ab32-34d37af4c3e3/who-wants-to-see-what-the-new-woot-offs-will-look-likemetafeedbackWho wants to see what the new Woot-Offs will look like?<p>Was digging up info on previous sales of buckyballs and stumbled across this link.</p>
